Volume 3 exchanges the cartoonish aesthetic for a more realistic approach, which makes the game somewhat bland. The major change is the ability to perform dribbling moves with the analog stick. The game itself feels a bit empty and rushed compared to the first two entries. It is not a bad game by any means, but it is uninspired in comparison to the other two. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best basketball games available.

How is this the worst in the series lol.

Play this game for the commentator

this jak 3 where the shit back when i was playing these two games

It was pretty cool when Luigi and Lebron James rejected playing Basketball and forced the United States of America to be destroyed by an out of control Mario while Peach gets crushed by a rock and they walk into the light, ending the NBA Street series on a high note.


NBA Street V3 has become forgotten over the years, as NBA Street Volume 2 is usually cited as the pinnacle of the series. While I wouldn't disagree, V3 is not far behind, and even improves on the previous installment in some areas.

This version trades in its cartoony visuals and fictionalized locations for a slightly more realistic tone including real world locations. The career mode is more varied before but overly long. Perhaps the best addition the trick stick, which allows tricks to be performed using the right stick.

Which NBA Street game is best depends on personal preference, but it's safe to say this one belongs near the top.


nba but in the streets 3

This game game gave me the randomized nickname of "The Natural" in my first playthrough of it years ago and I put that on like all of my created characters nicknames now.
